[sword-devel] How to deal with invalid markup?

[Tobias Klein]

Hi everyone,

Is there a recommended way on how to deal with invalid markup (in a 
frontend) when using the text from a Sword module?

To me invalid markup is basically invalid XML.
You find an example below (Exodus 3:22 / engNET2016eb).

Are Sword modules validated with standard XML validation tools before 
being published?

Best regards,
Tobias

Module: engNET2016eb

Mark-up text of Exodus 3:22 (module->getRawEntry()):

<w lemma="strong:H802">Every</w> <w lemma="strong:H802">woman</w> <w 
lemma="strong:H7592">will ask</w> <w lemma="strong:H7934">her 
neighbor</w> <w lemma="strong:H1481">and the one who happens to be 
staying</w> <w lemma="strong:H1004">in her house</w> <w 
lemma="strong:H3627">for items</w> <w lemma="strong:H3701">of silver</w> 
<w lemma="strong:H2091">and gold</w> <w lemma="strong:H8071">and for 
clothing</w>. <w lemma="strong:H7760">You will put</w> <w

<w lemma="strong:H1121">your sons</w> <w lemma="strong:H1323">and 
daughters</w> <w lemma="strong:H5337">– thus you</w>

INVALID section starts here:
